Thank you guys
Eh 6ca7 fat bottle has been my reference tube in mv 50 for years :
it was the safe path!
I have the original genelex kt 77 .a perfect matched quartet:i've
never tried them ;there will be the right time .
Listening from baroque to techno ,i wait a long time before
judging a tube ,or a certain mix of tubes;i try to be the more
scientific that i can ;i measure tubes of the same batch
and then listen tryin to exrapolate a paradigm.
My experiments may last months on the very same tube.
I found that often ther's no reason to prefer nos on new tubes or
vic eversa :a good tube is a good tube ,first because it's in his
specs,second (but very first)because do the trick ...the magic.
I often can't tell if two tubes having same specs ,sound the same :
maybe one is magic ,the other only good .
For sure G.e,telefunken ,tungsram,old tesla etcetera produced great
tubes ;but the magic tube hide itself sometimes beyond a dark getter
or a common 6h23ev.
Turning back on thread :now i'm focused on common russian el34 :
i've always thouht that eh el 34 was only an honest tubes ,but i
found that it was magic mixin it with Tung-sol el34 -b.
So assuming that a push -pull can work correctly only with
a balanced series of electrical parameters (transconductance,
gain,etc.),that it's what i wanted to point it out .
I wanted to share this experience with this particular amp ,and curious
to know if anybody had similar experience ;just to learn more ,
and not for saying the tube A is better than tube B.
Thank you for your kind attention.
